‘Only Ones’ and GOP Turncoats Derail Indiana Permitless Carry

“I sure hope you choose to show deference to law enforcement professionals who understand the magnitude and the frontline effects of this legislation, rather than the possibility of getting reelected or unelected the next primary,” Carter continued, further spreading the hilariously disprovable lie that police are the “Only Ones” professional enough to be trusted with guns. [More]

So the whole point of the American Revolution was so that, once victorious, the people would have to "defer" their (and their posterity's) rights to the orders of rulers and their "standing army" enforcers?

Closing Ranks

 Harvard has decided to close a 17-year-old campus police station because students said it made them feel “intimidated.” [More]

If you think about it, that's kind of what they're there for.

AzCDL Legislative Update

It's almost halftime at the legislature and the clock is ticking. Bills that have passed out of the House or Senate are on their way to the other chamber. Those that haven't made it through the gauntlet of committee hearings to which they were assigned are now dead. In between are a few that are being held on either the House or Senate calendars--they need to move soon or they will also be dead for this session. Here's where things stand. [More]

There are still some good bills in play that could use a push.

Sign of the Times

My wife and I were doing a favor for an elderly neighbor picking her up a brand they don't sell at the supermarket we shop at, resulting in my first and last experience at Meijer, which I then remembered about.

I don't believe that sign is "legal." It's probably their corporate cowardice way of getting the grabbers off their backs without actually having to do anything -- aside from insulting gun owners and sending a dangerous signal to those who fear being resisted.

Promises to Keep?

To induce Ukraine to give up the nuclear weapons inherited on the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the U.S., Great Britain and Russia agreed to provide assurances. If Washington were to allow Russia to gobble up the rest of Ukraine, it would tell non-nuclear states they must have nuclear arsenals because they cannot rely on the nuclear weapons powers for security. [More]
